I like the potential in "quantum" with respect for multiplicity suggested in term: "timespacematter/ing"

24:13 - Paul
yes, that was a MOOC

24:21 - Paul Allison
@kfasimpaur RE: amazing time to be a learner, YES! but so many of my colleagues also say what a terrible time it is to be a teacher -- given all of the mandates and measurements and squelching of individuality and teacher creativity.

24:44 - Karen Fasimpaur (@kfasimpaur)
I agree that it is a very hard time to be a teacher

24:56 - Joe Dillon #2
I think the ethnographic roots of connected learning are important... reminds us to be kid watchers. A great time to be a kid watcher, I would add.

25:02 - Peggy George
great point Paul Allison!! we need more teachers and principals to believe they are the "lead learners" in their schools

25:03 - Paul
i do often think about what kind of watershed moment we're at, Karen

25:18 - Stella Maris Berdaxagar ( Argentina)
Learning is ubiquitous and multi oriented and restructures itself every second all over the world.

25:24 - Paul
Good point, Joe.

25:37 - Karen Fasimpaur (@kfasimpaur)
As we talked about earlier, how we bridge the gap between school environments and the huge world of possibilities is the million $ question.

25:37 - @jackiegerstein
@Joe I agree - I think good teachers are ethnographers of their students

25:48 - Kim Caise
in the early 90's i went through the 3 week new jersey project writing institute with joyce and eddie carroll

MOOC is interesting and shows tremendous possibilities. But I feel like I'm sitting in the back of a lecture auditorium.

26:05 - Peggy George
kids are even doing connected learning when they play video games :-) making own choices and seeking answers to challenges as they need them

Joining us on TTT http://edtechtalk.com/ttt on Wednesdays at 9PM ET/6PM PT is a good way to connect. We love when regular listeners find their local National Writing Project f2f sites.

Paul Oh's point about teachers being creative makers connects the concerns I have about these impulses being tapped down by closing schools, test culture, and pressure to follow the line.

36:16 - Peggy George
that link is in the LIvebinder today

@Christina, I was excited this summer to hear from youth at DWP's writing camp about their experiences in openly-networked, interest-driven platforms. About writing and other interests.

36:57 - Jeff Grinvalds
I need a 3rd monitor to follow everything

36:58 - Karen Fasimpaur (@kfasimpaur)
But Paul a, you're certainly an example of how it can be done. Not easy though...for sure

37:10 - Peggy George
hahaha @Jeff! I know what you mean!

37:11 - Karen Fasimpaur (@kfasimpaur)
@Jeff :)

37:27 - Peggy George
this is being recorded so we can view again later and pause as we need to

There is a free iPad/iPhone App "Map of the Internet" which is visually very stunning …ttp://bit.ly/ZP3Z3d … could be considered a visual interactive metaphor for connected learning …loser study may even reveal a geographic correlation …here might connections be most dense …hich countries/continents

38:26 - Paul Allison
@kfasimpaur So yeah, I think encouraging a young teacher to connect with this maker/connected learning movement is a way to help him/her love the profession -- even now.

39:19 - Alison 1
I am teaching a remedial writing program for PK-3 grade students for 3 weeks in July. Is the National Writing Program something I could consider having my students be a part of?

39:22 - Kim Caise
that is so true @paul allison!

39:29 - Kim Caise
it definitely did for me

39:53 - monk51295
where's that?

39:57 - Peggy George
the maker concept is so important for teachers because they all lament the loss of the "old days" when they could allow kids time to create/explore without the pressures of testing! they will be re-energized as a maker!

40:02 - Karen Fasimpaur (@kfasimpaur)
I think so @alison

40:05 - Paul Allison
@alison 1 "remedial" PK-3?

40:09 - Carolyn Stanley
I wonder how many millions of wonderful student writing pieces never saw the light of day - the teacher saw- may have appreciated but probably just handed back to student, and the story is lost.

41:48 - Christina Cantrill
This example I think is really important because it shows how connected learning can be something to that emerges and that you use to think about the work you are doing with learners and as a leaner

51:53 - Christina Cantrill
Talk about how that plays into this summer's work @Terry

51:53 - Peggy George
start there @Jeff :-)

52:01 - Christina Cantrill
(if you would :))

52:05 - Karen Fasimpaur (@kfasimpaur)
You can support YV Summer at www.incited.org/projects/17

i heard @Monika on Teachers Teaching Teachers raise a question about crowdsourcing education efforts - which is, shouldn't these be funded not through crowds but through typical funding channels?

52:09 - Jeff Grinvalds
what do they get for "credits" or are those graduation credits?

52:18 - Karen Fasimpaur (@kfasimpaur)
We only have 5 more days left! Even $5 would be very helpful.
